the graceful and easy riding observed in

Of these gentlemen the Record has Sc
cured letters giving their views upon
this subject SIS well as letter by Hon. A.
SchOonmaker Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Ju ge Schoonmaker's letter
is based upon his study Of the south dur
ing the visit OF the Interstate Commits,
sion there last spring. He says
that the south will soon Iivsl
il not surpass the north and
west in the value of its products and in
enterprise and resources. Its great ad-
vantsges are inexhaustible resources and
cheap production. TIE additional cir
cumstences Of the homogeniety OF the
country, OF our national Union, with
the blessings which it secures &c
every portion Of the country, greatly i'm
proved sanitary conditions, better schools,
more pronounced individuality and in.
creased home comforts fill out the pic
ture OF the new south. TIE others speak
equally favorably OF the rapid but solid
growth of the south.

Wood box Jim" is the euphonious
title borne by a member of the Lusk con-
tingent called here as a witness in the
Patterson case. The gentleman's proper
cognomen is James Evans. He is a
brother of the popular John Evans who
was christened Happy jack upon his
advent at the enterprising burg SO well
represented in Cheyenne. Just why Mr..
Evans is known by this odd title is not
quite clear, but it is a fact that every one
of his jolly acquaintances from the north
greet him as Wood Box" and few would
know him by any other title. The wit
ness was subpoenaed by Deputy Vaughn
within Six miles of the Nebraska line.
He was under the impression that by So
journing in the corn state he could escape

local Chef. They will be served by the

The hall will be deliberately and taste

1t is a matter of regret to the friends OF
Lockwood, one of toe alleged accessories
to the murder of Gum, that be did not
demand a separate trial instead ofcasting
his fortunes with Phil Watson. The lat
ter. while a gentlemauly appearing per-
sonsge, has but few friends. These are
staunch ones, however, and have supplied
every want of the prisoner during his
long confinement. Lockwood's sympa-
thizers are numerous and steadfast in
their championship of the youth, strenu-
ously c%ontending that he was led into evil
ways by older heads. They counseled,
advised, exhorted and even begged him
to cut loose from his fellow prisoner, but
he has remained obdurate to pleas and
evil f~orebodings, saying that he proposed
to stay with Watson"

IN A BUSINESS BLOCK.
A Fire In the Post Office Building
Yesterday.

Shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon clerks engaged in the performance
of their duties in the post office observed
smoke floating through the c~revices in
the floor beneath their feet. They i'm
mediately attached the hose in the build
ing to the hydrant aud turned a stream OF
water in that direction. Not being aware
OF the extent or exact location of the
flames the money n postage stamps
were placed in the large vaults, and let
tiers, stationery and mail bags removed to
a building across the alley.
About the same time Lem Smith, who
had been standing in front of the clothing
establishment of his employer, turned to
enter the place and observed an immense
volume of smoke issuing from a trap
door near the rear of the store.
He at once sounded the alarm andythe
Alerts, Pioneer Hooks and Durants o
arrived in the order FAMED.
So dense was the smoke that almost
the entire contents of the store were
drenched with water before the flames
we're extinguished. Mr.. Loeb, who was
visiting the Cheyenne & Burlington ter
minus at the time the fire occurred, has
as yet been unable to carefully estimate
his loss, which will amount to several hun
dred dollars but is fully covered by insdr.
ance.
Speculation is rife as to the origin of
the fire. At first the generally accepted
theory that a severed electric light wire ig-
nited some. rubbish in the basement, but
as the wires were found intact several feet
from the point first ignited, some other
explanation was sought. instantaneous
combustion is absurd. 1t is more than
probable that a cigar stump or lighted
match was accidentally dropped into the
inflamma BILE mass of straw and paper,
1t Is exceedingly fortunate that the fire
did not occur late at night as the destruc-
ton of the entire block would almost GER
tainly have followed in that event.
